US colleges will require students to be vaccinated, despite state policies:

A growing number of US colleges have said all students must be fully vaccinated before returning to campus, in a move likely to anger some state governors. At least 14 colleges have said vaccination will be required so far, according to a CNN tally, and that number is expected to grow.

In late March Rutgers University became one of the first institutions to declare that having all students vaccinated will allow for an "expedited return to pre-pandemic normal."

Cornell, Brown, Notre Dame, Northeastern, Syracuse, Ithaca and Fort Lewis have made similar announcements, though all will make exceptions for medical or religious reasons. Cornell has also created an online registration tool so students and staff can register their vaccination status.

Two colleges, St. Edward's University in Austin, Texas, and Nova Southeastern University (NSU) in Broward, Florida, have gone a step further, requiring students and all campus employees to be vaccinated.

NSU's policy puts it on a collision course with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. After NSU's announcement on April 1 DeSantis signed an executive order stating that vaccines are available but not mandated. Crucially the order prohibits any government entity or business from requiring a vaccine passport. NSU said Thursday that it is reviewing the executive order.

    Big difference here: the vax-refusers are harming people, while for example me and my girlfriend aren't. Lesbians are actually cleaner than any other group, including straight women, when it comes to STDs. It's about harm, AC, not ideology. But you can't or won't comprehend that, because it would wreck your selfish, rotten, tiny little worldview. So instead you post this trash.

    People who are not vaccinated aren't harming anybody. If you want a vaccination its to protect yourself, not others. And most people are not infected, and even of those that are infected - most are asymptomatic who have negligible ability to spread the virus.

      That sure sounds like a measurable, quantitative claim. Can you show us the data proving this to be the case?
